Jameel Khan has always celebrated Eid with a lot of zeal and vigor. Talking about his Eid plans this year, he says, “In Mumbai, we mostly have non-Muslim friends coming over all day for nonveg food, which they relish and wait for every year. It's a joy to host them. This year is no different. It's a running feast all day.”In fact, not only Eid, but even Ramadaan has always been very elaborate. Sharing his best memories of the festival, he says, “I was in Sherwood College, Nainital for 10 years. There used to be a very elaborate spread for Iftaar and even for Sehri. My non-Muslim friends envied that spread but were always in awe of how we could go without even water for around 15 hours,” he says.

In fact, fasting was much easier for the actor when he was younger. “I wonder how I managed to play football tournaments and sports while fasting. Those were the days when we could do anything. Times have changed, I have grown older and my threshold levels have gone down. I am used to more comforts now and am not living in the hills anymore. Global warming and excessive heat now make it more difficult to fast,” he says.Talking about how he fasts now, he says, “I always try to fast all of Ramzan. It is like penance and is a fantastic way to detox, lose excess weight and improve your fitness, besides becoming a better human being. Religious faith and practices are about the intention with which they are performed. As an actor, I have fasted and performed as well without making any excuses or any compromise. People around me have always been very cooperative in this regard and that's the beauty of my country. We not only respect each other's religious practices but actively participate in them too.”
